BUTCH & JEAN - Platinumb

The third CD by Butch & Jean is less story, but more song orientated than what they have done
before. Another change is that the dialogs have been written together. Concerning music, Butch was
responsible for the entire drum playing while Jean was playing guitar, piano, organ and keyboard. Both
musicians sang before they could talk and rocked before they could walk, that's what their homepage
says. So they are covering songs by their idols such as Lou Reed and especially The Beatles. Butch
& Jean have changed the song in a way which makes them hardly recognisable. Because of the
synthetic keyboard sound, I see parallels to the Moog Cookbook who were also covering rock and grunge
classics in synthie versions. The songs on this third CD are less amusing than what they did before.
Green Onions (originally by Booker T) however underlines that both musicians
have a bluesy background.
